If I had to choose a scripture that defines my life and the nature of my Christian ministry, this would be the one...
Amos 7:14-16
Then Amos said to Amaziah, I was no prophet [by profession]! Neither was I a prophet's son; [but I had my occupation] I was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore trees and a gatherer of sycamore figs.And the Lord took me as I followed the flock and the Lord said to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel.
Now therefore listen to the word of the Lord: .....Amplified Bible
I have been employed as worker, manager, and grower in fruit orchards for over 30 years. I've worked on several farms in Pennsylvania and Minnesota working at each farm for 3-8 years at a time. One gets to know every tree on the farm and becomes intimately familiar with many aspects of the land specific to the place where you are set to work. Pastoring (or shepherding) is similar in all aspects except that you become intimate with people's hearts and the land of their life.
Several years ago while spraying the fruit trees in the orchard where I was employed, I asked the Lord to "Make me a worker in Your field, Your Land." It was one of those life changing prayers that we utter without realizing the full impact of our request.
The Lord, blessed be His Name, saw fit to begin answering that prayer, and these online services and resources are part of the Fruit of that Prayer.
